Hey can you guys tell me if anyone has an optimum battery in there fc at the stock location? if so what model are you using? also how hard is it to do a battery relocation?

 

I have a red top, but it is relocated. Cranks like a champ. It is not hard to relocate the battery. Use thick cables and make sure you make a solid chassis ground, or 2.

 

would 4 gauge wire do good? and did you run any extra fuses along with the relocation?

 

4 gauge should work, but I would maybe go with 2 depending on how much power you plan on pulling. Something the same size as the stock cables.



You can run a high amperage fuse, but you dont need to since everything should all ready be on a fuse. If you run one, make sure you put it after your starter or you will blow it every time you start your car. The way its run on my car now is the battery connects to the starter, then to all the other positives up by the original battery location. The ground is connected to one of the starter bolts (which is the only ground point, so I need to change that). You should do multiple grounds. You can never have enough.



I would run positive to the starter, then a distribution block (like for multiple stereo amps) to go the all the others. Run the ground from the battery to the starter, and also run a ground from the battery terminal to the chassis (like on the cross channel underneath the storage bins)
